It would be a welcome addition to any ocean enthusiast's library." --SCUBA DIVER "What distinguishes this important book is its scientific rigor in supplanting folklore with hard fact... Great White Sharks is a milestone work, lavishly illustrated with black and white plates, appendices and drawings... Clearly, the editors set out to produce a definitive work." --MARINE WATCH "Beautifully illustrated with drawings and photographs." --SURFER "This book...includes much that will interest the general public." --COPEIA
